Prediction: 2-2
Benfica
Following a shocking 2-1 loss to Gil Vicente, Benfica will look to start a new winning run in the Primeira Liga when they take on Tondela on Monday. The Eagles’ title hopes seem to be ruined as they are 12 points behind league leaders Porto ahead of Matchday 21. Benfica’s new goal is to secure a top-two finish, and, no doubt, they will give 100% to get back on course in the national championship this weekend.
Nunez is a major doubt after representing Uruguay in the World Cup qualifiers, while Roman Yaremchuk misses out with an eye injury. Tondela, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Portimonense. Pako Ayestaran’s troops are only three points clear of the relegation zone, and seeing that Benfica will be without important attackers in Monday’s clash, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw.
Highlighted Player (Jhon Murillo):
Jhon Murillo is a Venezuela international who was born in El Nula on November 21, 1995. After spending his youth career at San Camilo and Alto Apure, Murillo started playing for Zamora at the senior level.
The Venezuelan forward scored 19 goals in 59 appearances for el Blanquinegro before joining the famous Portuguese club Benfica. However, Murillo did not see any game action at Benfica in Primeira Liga as he was immediately sent on loan to Tondela. After ending his loan spell with the Auriverdes, Jhon Murillo signed a loan deal with Turkish club Kasimpasa in the 2017/2018 season.
In 2018 he returned to Tondela, signing a permanent contract with the Portuguese outfit. Speaking of his international career, the Tondela winger made his Venezuela debut on February 11, 2015, in a friendly against Honduras, scoring the winner on his debut. His primary position is left winger, but he is capable of producing excellent performances as a centre-forward as well.
